Schadenfreude

Got our first snow last night.  Not too much and melting quickly.  We got up at the crack of 9:00 and the trees are already melting on the south side.

Looking south was a bit gloomier just 5 minutes earlier.

I don't figure that all the storms will be this mild; for now it doesn't look like we'll have to hunker down and wait it out. 

Hope your first storm was/is as mild. 

Unless you are still reeling from Nov 6th, if so you have my most unsympathetic condolences.  Sorry, my schadenfreude is leaking out again.  I liken our current times to the McCarthy era with gays and 47% of the population replacing the communist.  Hopefully, we will be able to look back at these times as another hurdle overcome in our progress to a civilized nation.

Ways to go yet.
